Hey Ho Tim

the first ones called "George"
2nd ones "mike"



this one is a Striated Caracara http://www.9g-photography.fotopic.net/p31373625.html if its the one that was turning over the flower pots and jumping in the dust bin

 

Great shots!

 

I really love that first one! great job!

 

Heyyy, ya got some awesome shots there! The closeup of the eagle is incredible. Great job.

 

The two shots you directly linked to are incredible. The closeup on the bald eagle is printworthy, no question.

 

I agree, amazing photo's. What lens did you use on the first photo?
How did you get the black background on the second?

 

Thanks everyone . It was taken with a Sigma 50-500. The black background is caused by the extreme contrast between the bird in the sunlight and the wood area in the shade. Thanks for the name check Andy, George and Mike were in the book all along!

nice shooting, i hope you get addicted as much as I am,.. it is fun!

 

I like the grumpy expression in this shot.
It's a great catch!

 

Tim fantastic shooting!!!!! :thumbup:

Can you post pictures rather than links as there are probably more lazy people than me around who can't be bothered to click a link.

And by the way the first one ain't a RED KITE. It could be a Bateleur Eagle.

Are you coming with us on tuesday? weather permitting.
Ian

 

Cheers Hoppy. I will change the name sometime. Whats the plan for Tuesday? I might be available but have stuff to do before RIAT starts. We will see.
